‘Year-Round’ Swiss Ski Resort Zermatt Closes Due to Extremely Warm Temperatures and Rapid Snowmelt
High in the Swiss Alps, Zermatt usually stays open all year, never halting its lifts for a day because of the perpetually snow-covered glacier it’s built on. But with severe heatwaves impacting all of Europe, this is no ordinary summer and the world-class ski area has closed its skiing operations for the time being.
The resort, which is the highest elevation ski area in Europe, will suspend its summer skiing operations on Friday, July 29, due to high temperatures and the unmanageably rapid melting of its snowpack. According to Snow Forecast, Zermatt urges that this closure is temporary and will only last until conditions improve enough to support skiing again.
